1 READING GROUP GUIDE The Ghetto Swinger: A Berlin Jazz-Legend Remembers By Coco Schumann Translated by John Howard Introduction Coco Schumannʼs career as a jazz and swing musician spans more than seventy years and is replete with honors. But for decades Schumann bore his wartime experiences as a Holocaust survivor in silence, with only the pleasure of composing music and performing for live audiences to ease the burden of his most haunting memories. In his memoir, Schumann recounts the vibrant underground club scenes of Berlin in the years surrounding World War II as well as providing backstage glimpses into Berlinʼs famous nightlife, where he shared the stage with such jazz notables as Helmut Zacharias, Tullio Mobiglia, Toots Thielemans, and American visitors like Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald. At the same time, The Ghetto Swinger offers Schumannʼs harrowing testimony from about daily life inside Theresienstadt (Terezín) and Auschwitz, and provides readers with the important perspective of a Jewish Holocaust survivor who remained in Germany after the war. In his home country, Schumann is a celebrated personality. But until now, his life story hasnʼt been accessible to English-speaking audiences. Featuring rare photographs and an Afterword by Weimar- and Nazi-era culture scholar Michael H. Kater, The Ghetto Swinger is an engrossing historical document as much as it is a heartwarming memoir. Several films and theater productions in Germany, as well as a German graphic novel are based on this amazing story.

2 REVIEWS From his early enthusiasm for American jazz in Berlin cabarets to his membership of Terezinʼs celebrated Ghetto Swingers and surviving Auschwitz through his music, to post-war appearances with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, jazz remains a constant in a remarkable life story. [ ] Illustrated by a fascinating range of photographs. The Jazz Rag (UK) The recently published, never-before translated book by Coco Schumann traces his journey from Berlinʼs pre-war nightlife to a band in Auschwitz and back to Berlin and doesnʼt miss a beat. [ ] Look for this unusual book. Israel National News (Israel) His story is inspiring and profound, yet told with a youthful whimsy. Coco Schumann is the very best jazz guitarist you need to know. Book Bit with Doc Kirby, WTBF AM/FM (USA) An interesting and enlightening read. The passion and the clarity with which Schumann recalls his past experiences, playing with some of the greats, surviving World War II, his internment, are all very evident. I felt like I was listening to a gregarious great-uncle with stories almost too good to be true, other than the fact that they really are. This book feels like a conversation carried on between Schumann and anyone passionate about music. Reading for Sanity (USA) A spirited and colorful story about the art of humor, as well as the power of hope in circumstances where there is no hope. Even in the Auschwitz death camp music gave Schumann hope, and he gave it to others in the message of his music. Satakunnan Kansa (Finland) Why should you read this book? Coco Schumann takes you on a trip through his life and the history that surrounded it. This book not only gives a new perspective on World War Two, but provides a closer look at the jazz scene of the twentieth century as well. Schumann grabs your interest and lets you witness his beautiful, humorous and shocking experiences from up close. BLVD (Netherlands)

3 READING GROUP QUESTIONS 1. When telling his story about playing music in the camps, Schumann states that he did what he had to do in order to survive. What are some of the factors or conditions that made Schumannʼs experience as a prisoner unique? How does that make him feel about those times? 2. Schumann says that he felt like he had no home when he returned to Germany from Australia in What does this say about the notion of home as a place vs. home as a bigger concept or feeling? 3. Despite overwhelming evidence and testimony from thousands of people who survived the Holocaust, there are still those who say it never happened. What do you think is at the root of this denial? How does this book respond to those ideas? 4. How does Schumann struggle with his identity as both a German and a Jew? How does he feel about his fellow Germans at different points in time and why? 5. Schumann says that he still believes in god, but that after his wartime experiences he "cannot believe in the God of churches. He also says that his music sustained him both during the war and for the rest of his life. What does this say about the individual nature of faith in general, and specifically in the lives of those affected by the Holocaust? 6. Would listening to Coco's music give you a better understanding of the life he led or the things he experienced? His songs can be downloaded on itunes, and if you do hear the music, is there anything about it that surprises you? 7. Do musicians and other artists have a fundamentally different view of the world than other people? How do those differing views compliment or conflict with each other?

4 8. Even after the Nazis outlawed jazz music and Berlin was being bombed, people still snuck into clubs and cafes to hear it. And after the Armistice, when most of those clubs and cafes had been destroyed, people began improvising and opening new clubs almost immediately. What does this say about the role that music played in society at that time, and specifically jazz?how is the role of music different today? 9. Discuss Schumann's role as a witness to the Holocaust. Why did he wait so long to share his story? What toll do you think he paid for keeping it to himself for so many years? What was the cost to German society and those around him? 10. Discuss Schumann's relationship with his wife Traudi. How did they meet each other and why did they fall in love? How did they support each other through their lives? 11. At times Schumann discusses his interactions with Nazi soldiers in the camps and they seem civil, some even friendly. What do you think allowed those soldiers to be kind in one moment, and then terribly cruel? 12. Why do you think the Red Cross accepted the model ghetto of Theresienstadt as true, despite competing reports coming out of Poland of terrible conditions at ghettos and concentration camps, and even the existence of death camps? 13. The Nazis outlawed swing and jazz music throughout Germany but average German people enjoyed it themselves throughout the country, on the front lines, and even inside the camps. Why did the Nazi leaders insist that it was a threat to society? What did the Nazis gain by outlawing it? 14. What did the music of the Ghetto Swingers and other musicians provide for prisoners in Theresienstadt? In Auschwitz? How should the role of musicians during the Holocaust be remembered? 15. Coco Schumann was known as a wonderful live entertainer, with an ironic, often dark sense of humor. How does the book reflect Coco's personality, and what sections of the book reflect on this aspect of his life?

5 Coco Schumann was born in Berlin on May 14, He was the first musician in Germany to play electric guitar on stage and several times was named the best jazz guitarist in the country. Throughout his life, he has appeared in some of the best swing bands in Europe and alongside jazz notables like Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, and Louis Armstrong. For years, he led his own quartet, was a composer and arranger, and taught at one of the most prestigious music conservatories in Berlin. His latest song collection appeared in 2014, and until his retirement later that year at 90 years old, Schumann was playing regularly in Berlin for packed crowds. Recipient of the Order of Merit from the Federal Republic of Germany in 1989 and the Berlin Order of Merit in 2008, Schumann received the prestigious Ehrenpreise Lifetime Achievement Award from the German Record Critics in Coco Schumann, age 90, Photo: Susann Welscher. Michael H. Kater, author of the bookʼs Afterword, is a former professional jazz musician who is Distinguished Research Professor of History Emeritus at York University in Toronto and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of ten books, including Hitler Youth (Harvard 2004) and Different Drummers: Jazz in the Culture of Nazi Germany (Oxford 1992). His latest book is Weimar: From Enlightenment to the Present (Yale 2014).
